Just so you (and I) know

On Monday, July 19, 2021...

Even if you

haven’t exercised today

or eaten nutritiously

or couldn’t fit into the pants you wanted to wear somewhere

even if you haven’t prayed

or meditated

or counted your blessings and whispered “there but for the grace of God go I…”

even if you still haven’t made that call you’ve been dreading

or emptied your inbox

even if there are dirty dishes in the sink

and there is soiled laundry in the basket

and the yard needs mowing

and the dog piles need to be picked up

and you don’t quite have enough money to pay for all the things that need paying for

even if you fought with your partner this morning and know it was mostly your fault

even if you are struggling with trauma

even if you were, in some instance, less than as kind as you tell yourself you should be

even if there simply isn’t enough of you to go around

You are still a sparkling, shining star in this world and you are loved very much.

That’s the reminder I needed. So it’s the one I’m giving you.

AM
